They dont have any heat lamps. Is there anyway to heal this scrape? Thank youLooks like they’ve scraped the top of their shell, though it could potentially be a minor burn, are they young enough that they’re indoors with heat lamps still? Or are they housed outside?

I don't see any abrasion there to make me think it is a scrape. Could be a mild burn, but sometimes these little patches just happen. Maybe it was a little too dry in that spot when the new growth was forming?Can anyone tell me what this patch on my sulcata's shell is
Thank you for the advice!Tortoise looks dry, introduce regular warm shallow soaks for 30 mins in a high sided container. Check diet and ensure calcium is provide for good shell, bone, beak and claw growth. I would also give the shell a gentle run over with a soft toothbrush and wipe on some coconut oil on the top to help moisturise new growth and scutes. Enjoy

It is always important to clarify this since pairs of tortoises are a big no no. In the future you could write something like they(singular) or they(just one tortoise) as a disclaimer.They as a pronoun. I don't know the sex of Maba yet
